I don't think they make a distinction as to which software voids the warranty. In the second paragraph they warn against non-factory software. Here is te exact text: Warning: To avoid invalidating your warranty, contact your dealer to have a Fortec Star trained technician upload software to...

Not worth it I guess the consensus is that it's not worth the hassle. I think the date difference between the two latest Fortec updates is only 3 months. So, I don't think they had reinvented the wheel in those three months. I agree that if it's working then leave it alone. Other than a...

Hi Guys, Sorry if this is a repeated topic. I searched for relevant info but couldn't find any on our site. Anyways, is it worth upgrading the firmware on my Fortec Ultra? Has anyone done it and if so, what bugs did it fix, or improvements did it add, if any? Mine came with Firmware dated Feb...

Hey Pete, I see you are a Willy fan. I can see the tendency to like him. ;) He's one of my favorite characters in the Simpson.. :D

Nuked!!?? WOW, that's darn effective. Thanks PSB for a great job you are doing :up

Oops, I didn't mean to ask them divulge such secrets of the trade, :o and I am sure our moderators are smarter than that. As long the measure is effective, that will make us all happier :)

I am starting to doubt the effectiveness of the ban process. Do you guys block the particular username? Or do you go further to block the user's IP address, for example. Because, if the halk-talkers' usernames are blocked they could easily come back after signing up as new users...:(

I have noticed recently that more people are posting questions despite the no-hack-warnings at the top of home page. Even though it's amusing to read these posts and Iceberg's and PSB's responses to them, they remain as annoying as ever. I am wondering if there is a clearer way to show these...

all Arabic channels are in place My Arabic list of channels shows that all of them are still there with the same signal strenght. I have it on Abu Dhabi TV right now with a signal between 80 to 90 %. My experience is that any shifting of the dish position due to wind will make you do some...

Firefox 1.5 loaded the page just fine here. All links also seem to be working. It just has a slower download speed than IE. Here is the latest info on this version from the "about" window Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Have you tried the equipment review section? I know there is a review of the Fortec by PSB which was very informative. I personally use Fortec lifetime ultra and I am pretty happy with it. Of course there are crashes--mostly due to software issues--every now and then, but the hitting the power...

Make sure your receiver has a digital audio INPUT in the back. Sometimes receivers say have digital audio in the back but that can be an OUTPUT. I had that experience with a couple of receivers and had to return them to the store because I couldn't use them to decode AC3 audio.

sadoun.com is helpful You might want to visit www.sadoun.com to look at installation tips. Their website has detailed information and step by step instructions.'

I thought I read the features correctly when I read the online info. It stated that the set has a dolby decoder. To me that meant it was able to "decode" digital audio. Don't you think it's misleading for a company to state some capability in there product while it does not exist? I called the...

I bought the other day at Walmart a cheap home theater system made by Duraband. It has a DVD player and surround sound. It said on the box that it has Dolby digital and Prologic II decoder. Here is the link to it on walmart's website: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3880837...

Thanks for the input Pete. In fact, I didn't try switching ports yet. By the way, the signal from the FTA Ku universal LINB goes through port A on the swich while the Dish Network LINB goes through port # 4. Not sure if that makes any difference. However, the interesting thing is that this...

I receive GolTV via my old Dishnetwork dish which is hooked up to a switch with the main Fortec 90cm dish with Universal LNB. Both dishes are controlled by a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver. Every time I change the channel to GolTV I cannot see it unless I press on menu and go to Antenna...

I use my old dishnetwork setup, just the way it's pointing to echo6,8, to receive GolTV. It goes trough a 4 way switch and it works great. Haven't tried any other LNBs on the 18" dish, first: because it's on my high roof and I am not willing to sacrifice a leg or a neck for that, and second my...

Fortec behavior Last night my fortec started behaving strangely. When I presses the sat button on the remote to choose a satellite it browsed fine if I went down the list, but when I browsed upward to go the end of the satellite list from the other direction, the picture froze and the sound...

I am using my old dishnetwork dish connected through a 1X4 switch with another Universal LNB on my Fortec dish setup. I think I just fried another switch. I know, I know, I should turn the receiver off before playing with switches. And I have not touched the switch since installing it just a...

I came home from work that night and thankfully the dish was still in place. I thought "good it didn't seem to have moved" until I got in a turned the TV on to find a no signal message on the screen. The next day I went up and using only the satfinder tried to reposition. The signal came back...

Another reason I think EPG doesn't show on FTA channels is that they are free in the first place and adding that feature would cost them time and money, I guess. So, I figured I can't just receive their programming for free and then complain that something is missing. Unlike paid satellite...

You could apply for the green card lottery each year. Or better yet, one of the satelliteguys girls might be able to help you out :D

Could anyone check if they still can get GolTV? It has been a black screen with zero signal quality!! I am afraid it has gone scrambled. I checked my connections etc and all is in place. :confused:

T12 used to carry Israeli Channel 2. But recently I looked on lyngsat.com and channel 2 is not lised under T12 anymore.
